Moskva is a thrilling novel that combines the intrigue of Seven with the espionage atmosphere of Deutschland 83, making it an outstanding serial killer thriller for fans of Gorky Park or Child 44.

Set on Christmas Eve 1985, the story begins with the chilling discovery of a young man's body in Red Square. The body is shaved, blood-drained, and frozen solid like marble, missing the little finger from his right hand.

A week later, Alex Marston, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the British Ambassador, goes missing. Army Intelligence Officer Tom Fox, who has been posted to Moscow after the tragic death of his own daughter, is tasked with finding her.

As Fox's investigation leads him deeper into the dark heart of the Soviet establishment, his fears for Alex's safety intensify. It becomes increasingly clear that she may be the next victim of a sadistic killer.
